Evidently, the frosted brownies I brought a while back were a hit. Shelley even asked for them when I brought her dinner after Katelyn was born...and now she wants the recipe. So, I thought I'd just share it with everyone.
I'd like to say ahead of time...it's sort of a guesstimation of the exact measurements...cuz mine sort of grows...accidentally on purpose so I have some to eat afterwards...hahaha! The brownies are super duper easy...they come out of a box...hardy har har! Wait until they're cooled before you put the frosting on...or it'll soak in! I decorated the top with whole pecans...to make ya'll take a WHOLE brownie (I know, I know...God forbid)...instead of hacking the pan up into ridiculous teeny pieces! Hope this brings ya'll happiness as you pretend it's fat free! Smiles!!!
CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1/4 c. butter (warm not melted)
1/4 c. butter (warm not melted)
1/4 c. plus about 2 tbsp. cocoa (I use Hershey's)
1/4 c. plus about 3 tbsp. warm milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 (16 oz.) pkg. powdered sugar, sifted
Cream butter; add cocoa, mixing well. Slowly beat in powdered sugar, adding warm milk as necessary until spreading consistency. Stir in vanilla. Spread right away.

by "butter (warm..)" do you mean like you do for cookies and let it soften on the counter?
I will have to try it this way sometime... I usually just make buttercream (1 stick softened butter, 1 box pdr sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and milk to creaminess) and then put in a bunch (and I mean like 6-8 rounded Tbsp of Hershey's cocoa pdr) in.
Yes, like for cookies! Your's probably come out similar I would think...
Been praying for ya...know you're about to burst...hehehe...very excited for you and yours...
